Please listen and consider the long term consequences. As a traveler I really think about how and where I spend my money. Though I am not transgender, I would not appreciate having to prove my gender, nor would I like seeing anyone else experience this. It is just plain wrong.

This is all about unreasoned fear. We need a leader who’ll get us past this.

Thank you for standing against this bill— which trivializes the sacred text of us Christians, and insults Tennesseans of other faiths— and Tennesseans of no faith at all. If Tennessee is to have an “official book”, it ought to be a significant work of literature authored by a Tennessean! As a state, we have made significant contributions to American Literature, Biography, and other genres of literature— one of those should be chosen, if we need a “State Book.”
